- Trading Places has betting odds of +100 for a sequel release date to be announced
- With +450 betting odds, St. Elmos Fire is worth betting on for a sequel to be filmed
- Both When Harry Met Sally and The Breakfast Club have higher betting odds of +500 and +550 for their films to receive a sequel
LOS ANGELES – Several movies have announced the date that their sequel will hit theaters. From Zootopia 2 to Avatar: Fire and Ash, 2025 has become one of the biggest years for sequel releases. While many “newer” movies have already confirmed their sequel, people are beginning to bet on which classic movie will be the next to show the public when its sequel will be out.
Movies Favored To Be Sequels In 2025
Released on June 7th, 1983, Trading Places has the shortest odds of filming a sequel, with the betting odds being +100. The original, featuring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy, received an 89% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Betting on this movie to receive a sequel is an entertainment bettor’s best option.
Coming in second place, with betting odds of +450, St. Elmos Fire is the second most likely to disclose a sequel release date. However, the film’s score on Rotten Tomatoes is significantly lower than any of the other movies, having received a 44%. It is certainly risky betting on this movie, but with the second shortest betting odds, it could pay off.
Arguably the most well-known film mentioned, When Harry Met Sally has +500 odds of releasing a sequel. The film’s Rotten Tomatoes score ties with Trading Places and features actors and actresses like Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. Having been released most recently, in July of 1989, this film is newer than most, yet its odds of getting a sequel are not as high as others.
